Laowa Sunlight 40–80mm T4.5 2x FF Anamorphic Zoom
The lens is available in four flare versions—amber, blue, silver and clear—so productions can choose the rendering that fits the look of the project at the time of purchase. The imaging character is tuned for smooth transitions from focus to defocus with oval bokeh typical of 2x anamorphic optics, and focus breathing is kept low to help maintain composition during pulls. Minimum focus is 0.61 m for tighter framing without accessories.
